What a wonderful experience it was to work with Monica and her team. From the trial to the day of the wedding, my interactions with Monica were superb. I found her to be professional and very accommodating. Excellent!

Would totally recommend Monika for bridal make up and hair! She performed a daily look for my wedding day i absolutely loved and was complimented a lot! She was flexible to arrive very early in the morning to accommodate our busy schedule. Thank you!

Monika, Carla, and Vivian did hair and make-up for my whole wedding party. Monika spent a long time at my trial looking at pictures and listening to figure out what I was looking for. I was happy with the trial and it was duplicated perfectly on my wedding, My make-up was beautiful while still looking natural. All 3 were super fun and nice to be around which is very important for your wedding morning.

I picked Monika based on her reviews on this site- on account of her competency as an artist, but also the reviews of professionalism and personability. Man, I had a very different experience than the majority of reviewers (weird, right?). First of all, Monika was great by email at the start, but then after sending me her invoice (two weeks before the wedding) she seemed to have disappeared. I inquired as to why the bridesmaid makeup costs were different than those listed on her website and have still, to date, not received an email back. I paid the invoice, hoping that she was just waiting to make sure that I was a confirmed client (I know vendors can get insanely busy mid-summer). Still no emails back to questions. I began to worry, and asked my sister to be a backup in case something happened, though I still assumed that things had just picked up.
Then, at 5am the morning of my wedding, I received a text from an unknown number telling me it was Monika and that she was sending a stranger, not listed on her website, instead. I could not believe it. Let me tell you- anxiety and stress can eat you alive the week of your wedding, let alone the day-of. I was so sick to my stomach over it that I had to go straight to Shopper's Drug Mart to get Pepto the minute it opened that day and had to rethink the look for my whole face. I had to sit through my hair appointment wondering how I could've been so stupid as to pay over $200 to some internet stranger for something so important.
Bear in mind, the stranger who showed up that day ended up being an incredible makeup artist and a rad lady, so I tried to refrain from sharing this horror story as a review. But then two weeks later, today, I get an email from Monika (the first email since I paid my invoice) encouraging me to review her. Well, here it is. I hope no one else has this kind of unnecessary drama.

Blushing Beauty's reply:

Dear Mary,

I sincerely apologize that we did not live up to your standards. There are always two sides to a story. I have replied to all your questions and concerns leading up to the wedding promptly.
Regarding the inquiry for the bridesmaids' services, your request was unique (As you know, not all weddings are the same). I did prepare a custom quote for you and your two bridesmaids to review. Since your request was to have your two bridesmaids makeup done simultaneously, this requires two additional dedicated artists for one service each, hence the different price structure.

We only received the confirmed booking nine days before your wedding in which you opted not to have a trial run. Our standard policy is once the bride is satisfied with the trial run, that particular artist is paired with the bride for the wedding day. As the creative director, I made a judgment to pair you up with an artist that can best create your desired look based only on reference photos (since we have never had a trial run).

We strive to make sure everyone is happy on her special day. I am glad to hear that my artist as you quoted ‘was incredible’. However, due to a misunderstanding, you were still disappointed. I have offered a full refund as a sign of our commitment to making everyone happy, in which you have declined.

I do appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and voicing your concerns. I will take this experience to improve upon the content on our website.

All of Blushing Beauty artists are hand selected to represent a unified creative vision. Anyone who has worked with Blushing Beauty knows we will go above and beyond to ensure their day is special (just look at our past reviews).

Warm Regards,
Monika
Creative Director

My experience with Blushing Beauty was great. Carla was professional, experienced and we spent most of the trial and day-of chatting and joking while she was working. I was extremely happy with my hair and make-up and Carla checked in to make sure I was happy with the progress along the way. She did a great job and made it a very pleasant and comfortable experience. I would definitely recommend Blushing Beauty and Carla.
